Brazil nut shortage?

Is it just me or is it impossible to find Brazil Nuts, with their shell intact, this Christmas? I've seen one outlet selling them without their shell, but apart from that, I cannot find them anywhere.

Shocking, I know.

I've got some banannanananaanannnnananaaanas that think they're nuts, I can send them. I've also got a lake that thinks its a glass of gin, and i think im a lemon. So I keep jumping in and out of the lake.

Sorry, Row, you can't sell in-shell brazil nuts at the moment as the shells are believed to contain poisonous toxins.
